--------------------------------------------

Commands are listed on the left. Type any command and press Enter. Type H[Enter] at anytime to

access this menu. See the following sections for details about each command.

In the previous runtime version (v35), all commands were available when the unit was in command

mode. There are two types of commands; one type can change the programmable settings in the

Flash, the other type cannot change the settings in Flash.

In this runtime version (v36), after Powerup or Reset, the commands that change the data in

the Flash will be disabled.

For example, if you type PS03[Enter], the unit will respond ‘Type H[Enter] to enable this command’.

• To Enable these commands, enter the H command first. Enter H[Enter]. Then enter

PS09[Enter]. OK will appear on your screen to confirm that the command is enabled.

• To Disable these commands, enter the HU command. The HU command will disable all

commands that can change the data in Flash.
